  • Hot water is pumped from deep underground through a well under high pressure.
  • When the water reaches the surface, the pressure is dropped, which causes the water to turn into steam.
  • The steam spins a turbine, which is connected to a generator that produces electricity.
  • The steam cools off in a cooling tower and condenses back to water.
  • The cooled water is pumped back into the Earth to begin the process again.

Deeper in the Earth's crust, geothermal water can be used directly to heat buildings and grow plants in greenhouses.]]> 2022-09-15 02:25:40 UTC https://padlet.com/aplanamariagabriellevalero/mn0muw5cu87joaz0/wish/2297417598
